A Butte County man accused of second degree attempted murder pleaded not guilty in Colusa County Superior Court last week to a slew of felony charges.

Rodolfo Martinez Madrigal, COLUSA COUNTY JAIL Jr., 28, of Rodolfo, Jr. Gridley, Martinez-Madrigal was arrested on March 7 on suspicion of firing a gun at an individual in Grimes on Feb. 26, before fleeing the scene.

A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for 9 AM on April 12.

F

riends and family of outstanding youth filled the Education Village in Williams on Friday to applaud their nominees for the 14th Caring Youth Count Awards.

Various reasons were announced along with the name of each youth as they ascended the steps to receive a medal and certificate from representatives from the

Colusa County Office of Education. This year, 41 young people were recognized for strength of character and resiliency.

The event recognizes and celebrates the unique qualities the individual winners exhibited.

The whole aim for CCOE hosting these awards is to recognize the positive impacts that youth make in the community.

Assistant Superintendent Maria Arviza-Espinoz explained that these awards focus on the individual because many

of the youth are unable to participate in clubs and extra curricular activities.

“In a nutshell, it levels the playing field, doesn’t matter your status, it doesn’t matter your GPA, what matters is you, you as an individual, you as a person, what are you doing as a person to make a difference,” said Arviza-Espinoza. “So that’s the beauty of this celebration.

That’s why we love it.”

he annual Super Seven Dinner for Colusa High School’s most academically accomplished upperclassmen was held Monday at the Trinity United Methodist Church, in Colusa.

Torchbearer Gamma Alpha Master Chapter of Beta Sigma

Phi and the Colusa Lions Club recognized seven seniors and seven juniors with the highest academic records at Colusa High School.

The Super Seven Dinner originated in 1975, based on a proposal by Florence Stevens, president of the Colusa Women’s Club. The Club continued the tradition for 22 years until it disbanded. Beta Sigma Phi has managed the program

Audit shows Williams 2018 revenue down, expenses up SUSAN MEEKER susan@colusacountynews.net

Williams officials announced at the City Council’s March 20 meeting that the city received a “clean” audit report for the fiscal year that ended on June 30, although it concluded General Fund revenues were down from the previous year, and not up as many people believe.

The report, delivered by Finance Director Rex Greenbaun, essentially disputed a recent OP-ED written by former Mayor Chuck Bergson, who claimed that the city had received such a large influx of cash from recent

since 1998.

The Colusa County Office of Education and several local businesses helped to sponsor the event with donations and support.

During the dinner, the Super Seven seniors honored the teacher who they felt had influenced them the most.

developments that it should be able to fix its crumbling facilities, including the roads.

“I think there is a perception that the city is flush with cash,” Greenbaun said. “I think the city has worked to be fiscally responsible.

I think this (report) shows we have invested in our streets…(but) we just front-loaded the costs, which is why the street fund shows a deficit balance.”

City Manager Frank Kennedy said the city approved a number of street improvements and equipment purchases in the past year, but that they essentially borrowed from themselves in advance to do as much work as they could.

“We went into debt with ourselves and have to pay it back,” Kennedy said.

According to the audit report, the 2018 General Fund revenues in the amount of $3,817,841. In 2018 there was a decrease of $124,000, from $3,942,241 the previous year. Of that amount, $103,000 was a decrease in sales and local taxes, largely as a result in the drop in the price of gasoline.

The 44th District Agricultural Association will be celebrating “80 Years of American Flair at the Colusa County Fair,” when the area’s largest exposition gets underway in June.

The 2019 Colusa County Fair will return with a full lineup of new and returning events, but with a few minor changes in store, officials said.

The popular Destruction Derby will remain as Sunday night’s main attraction this year, although the Fair Board anticipants taking a more serious look at moving the popular event to Saturday night in 2020.

“Sometimes change is a good thing,” said Laura Ford, chief executive officer, at the March 27 Fair Board meeting.

While 77 percent of people who responded to a poll on the subject said they would like to see the Destruction Derby moved from Sunday to Saturday night, Ford said it was not possible to make the change this year.

About 56 percent of those surveyed also said they would like a two-day Destruction Derby held Saturday and Sunday nights.

Budding artists get exposure JENNIFER BLUE jennifer@colusacountynews.net

Students in Colusa County schools submitted their artwork in this year’s Art Show, hosted by Williams Community Center.

The center was open Saturday to let the community peruse talent by budding artists. Refreshments were served and people milled about, discussing their favorites.

The winners were announced in the afternoon and winning artists had a check waiting. Although not all those who placed were able to attend, third place was awarded $25, second place $40, first place $50. There were two sets of ribbons for first, second, and third place: for the high schools and for the middle schools. There was only one Best of Show, giving the winner Aubrianna Keeler bragging rights to the tune of $100.

Judy Busath with the Williams Community Center Association dreamed up the Art Show, which has taken place for six years. Busath hopes that the cash prize will be an investment in the growing talent.

“I’m hoping the money that the kids get today, that they use it for their education, hopefully it’ll be art, but at least education” Busath said.

Audrey Aragon was one of the first place winners for her mixed media drawing titled, “A Colorful Mind.”

Aragon utilized different materials and lessons from her art class.

“At first I was just drawing a girl drinking tea, so I did some tape, and I have an art class and

we learned the zen tangles, so I used that between the gaps,” Aragon explained.

The premise she was hoping to show was that no matter how someone looks ordinary, their mind is always colorful. Aragon said is thinking ahead to her future, and is considering studying to become an animator or a comic book artist.

Although Busath created this exhibition for Colusa County students, she doesn’t take credit.

“It’s the teachers that make this a success because if the teachers didn’t have the students do the art, then we wouldn’t have this, Busath said. “They’re the ones that need all the credit.” ■

Community School students sell fruits of their labor SUSAN MEEKER susan@colusacountynews.net

Students at S. William Abel Community School were able to put the new greenhouse at the Colusa County Office of Education Village to good use this year, with the fruits of their labor getting sold to the community on Saturday.

Students sold flowers, herbs, and vegetable plants to home gardeners, which was the first project since the Office of Education got funding to implement agricultural education in 2018.

“This is part of a USDA grant called Farm to School,” said Craig Richards, project coordinator. “What we’re trying to do is connect kids to agriculture. We plan to grow food that can be included in school meals and to hold plant sales.”

The Colusa County Office of Education received a $45,000 planning grant for the program from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service to develop the program.

In addition to the large greenhouse, where the

“We hope to reach out to all the schools, but

experience with home gardens and said the agriculture education at the Community School has been rewarding.

“A total of about 14 (students) worked on the project,” Daniels said.

Students plan to grow native grasses and shrubs, in addition to flowers and vegetables.

“We are also growing oak trees,” Wynant said.

“We planted a bunch of acorns last winter, and they are just now starting to all come up.”

In their first venture, students ran quickly through three varieties of tomatoes, two varieties of eggplant, four varieties of peppers, sweet Italian basil, cucumbers, marigolds, and zinnias.

Money raised from the plants will go back into the program, Richards said.

The Office of Education started the agriculture education program with a number of very involved stakeholders, including the Colusa County Resource Conservation District.

“It is so important to have a program like this in Colusa County,” said Liz Harper, RCD executive director, who also purchased a variety of plants. “We want to keep it going.” ■

COUNTY FAIR Ford said she started the poll to gauge the pulse of the community, who said a Saturday Derby would boost derby participants.

“Drivers can come and not have to leave,” Ford said. “They could come from a greater distance away, and not have to leave so early to be home for work at 7 AM.” Moving to the Derby to Saturday would also allow Ford to round out the traditional La Familia Day on Sunday to include a Hispanic event in the Grandstands that same night.

But with limited revenue and staff, Ford said it would be impossible this year to turn a wet arena into a dry arena in less than 24 hours to change nights.

“I will want to reexamine this for next year,” she said.

Of the more than 500 people who responded to the poll, 55 percent to 45 percent said that they would like to see pig races over a magic show, and 61 percent to 39 percent voted for Tuff Trucks/Mud Bogs over a Tractor Pull.

“We just wanted to feel out what the public wants for the future,” Ford said.

To most people, the Colusa County Fair seems as timeless as the events that have defined it for decades, but Fair officials said nothing can or should stay the same.

But with the cost of main attractions costing upwards to $25,000, Ford said booking top-of-the-

line events is difficult with limited revenue.

Most of the traditional activities that occur before and during the four-day exposition this year will still include livestock shows Tuesday, June 4 through Friday, June 7; Colusa County Mini Miss Pageant and the Fair Foundation Redneck Rodeo and Barbecue on Wednesday, June 5; Miss Colusa County Pageant on Thursday, June 6; Mr. Cinderfella on Friday, June 7; the Junior Livestock Auction on Saturday morning, June 8, and the 2019 Destruction Derby on Sunday, June 9.

Without the revenue for a main event in the Grandstands on Saturday, Ford is looking at booking a self-promoted Hispanic concert this year, although the event has not been finalized.

The Fair Board on March 27 voted unanimously, however, to begin collecting a gate fee at all events, with the exception of the Junior Livestock Auction, even

when the Fair is not officially open.

Gate fees when the Fair is officially open (carnival, exhibit buildings) are $10 for adults and $5 for children 6-12.

“If the Ferris Wheel is not turning and the Kettle Korn is not popping, then the gate fees for adults will be half price at $5,” Ford said.

“This will help generate revenue and, by gosh, we need the revenue.”

Gate fees of $5 for adults and $2 for children will be collected at the gate for the livestock shows for all species, as well as the Colusa County Mini Miss Pageant,

and the Fair Foundation Redneck Rodeo.

Ford said with the implementation of gate fees to auxiliary Colusa County Fair events, value is greatly added to purchasing a season pass, which will not change in price.

“Adults can still get a season pass for $20 and get into everything,” she said.

Season passes will be available soon at the Colusa County Fair Office, 1303 10th St., Colusa, and various businesses throughout the county.

Season passes for children 6-12 are $10. ■

How to beat Str8ts – Like Sudoku, no single number can repeat in any row or column. But... rows and columns are divided by black squares into compartments. These need to be filled in with numbers that complete a ‘straight’. A straight is a set of numbers with no gaps but can be in any order, eg [4,2,3,5]. Clues in black cells remove that number as an option in that row and column, and are not part of any straight. Glance at the solution to The solutions will be published here in the next issue. see how ‘straights’ are formed.

But Colby Stillwell from Willows would open up the scoring spree with a first inning solo homer. Willows collected two more runs in the inning for 3-0 lead over the Bears. Danny Valdez brought the heat from the mound on the Pierce offense, surrendering no runs on one hit over the next three innings.

Luke Vorhees allowed seven hits and six runs in the first four innings for the Bears and struck out six. Down by seven in the fifth, Voorhees got the third out for the Bears, catching runner Shipplehoute at home on the steal and holding Willows from widening the score. Back in the box, Pierce was unable to cross the plate, leaving one on base. Willows picked up two more runs in the sixth, but sealed the fate of a Bears loss at the top of the seventh with a second homerun by Stillwell on a fly ball to left field with one runner on. The Bears lost 11-0.

Tapia allowed 11 hits and five runs over three innings, striking out three and walking zero. Gentry Condrey led Pierce with two stolen bases. Pierce holds a 1-9 season record and will travel to Live Oak for a conference matchup Friday at 4 PM. ■

RedHawks take two blow out wins over Live Oak

Justin Lee makes contact for an on base hit and RBI in Fridays win over Live Oak. CHERI AZEVEDO cheri@colusacountynews.net

Mother nature finally broke free last Friday, allowing the Colusa RedHawks baseball team to take to the field for a double header against the Live Oak Lions. The RedHawks racked up both wins over the Lions with final scores of 13-1 and 24-0.

The offensive firepower by the RedHawks in the third inning played a key role towards the first game victory. Christian Lyss, Justin Lee, Ethan Lay, Connor Saso, and Blake Steidlmayer all drove in runs for the 10-0 lead at the bottom of third.

Drew Bradbury led Colusa on the mound, pitching three innings, allowing zero runs on zero hits, striking out five and walking none. Cole Simmons threw two innings in relief out

of the bullpen. Lyss went three for three and led the offense to a 13-1 victory.

Second game play featured three RedHawks pitchers on the mound, none of which allowed a single hit. Again, the third inning shined for the Redhawks, placing eight runs on the board for 9-0 Colusa lead. Lay and Steidlmayer led the way on offense with multiple hits on the Lions defense. A sure-handed defense also contributed to the RedHawks victory with zero errors. Cody Free had the most chances in the field with nine.

Lyss delivered a stellar performance on the mound, surrendering zero runs, striking out five, and no base on balls.

Colusa claimed the victory in the no-hitter game, 24-0 over Live Oak. Colusa sits at 12-2 record on the season. ■

Goodman said, “He fell in love with the photography and that’s just what kind of started it with the senior project.”

For those interested in assisting Telford in his efforts to help bolster the arts, assistance is greatly appreciated.

Patrons can donate to the Colusa County Arts Council. Donations must be noted specifically to Cameron Telford’s senior project. Additionally, artwork donations will also be welcomed.

Senior projects are a reflection of the student’s passions. Cameron Telford would like to invite everyone to the Colusa County Arts Council at 151 Fifth Street in Colusa.

The doors will be opened Thursday at 6 PM for the public to view images forever captured on film. Art on display will also be available for purchase.

Telford, along with his brother Michael Hickel, and other artists will be selling their work. All proceeds will be donated directly to the Art Department at Colusa High School for the purpose of buying much needed supplies.

Pioneer Review

The application deadline is fast approaching for the Colusa County Fair’s Mini Miss and Miss Colusa County titles. Pageant applicants have until Friday, April 19 before 5 PM to enter.

According to last year’s winner, Allison Traynham, 13, contestants get the royal treatment from when they first sign up, and working hard is part of the rewarding experience.

“You remember little things.” Traynham said. “I just think, the whole thing of being Mini Miss, of being in the pageant was just such a great experience, I feel like everyone should do it, it’s so much fun.”

Applications are available on the fairgrounds website

and should be returned to Araceli Plaza via email araceli@colusacountyfair. com or traditional mail: 1303 10th St. Colusa, CA 95932.

If girls are hesitant to participate in the pageant, Traynham said she was able to overcome her nerves by reminding herself that her friends and family were present for support. Although she would have already described herself as bubbly and outgoing, she said, “I’ve learned so much about just being more out there, putting more of myself out there, speaking to others and getting to know other people.”

Although not every girl can win a crown, cash prize, and a bouquet, the girls often find a bigger reward in the friendships that they make there. ■

NOTICE OF NEWSPAPER RACK SUSPENSION The Williams Pioneer Review news rack located at the Arbuckle Post Office will be suspended for the month of April due to ongoing theft of newspaper copies.

After multiple customer complaints of the rack being empty, it was determined, following a year-end audit, that after

depositing the initial 75¢ individuals are taking multiple copies. The audit indicated that over 900 newspapers were taken in 2018 without being paid, a $700 loss to our company.

Customers can purchase their newspapers at the Arbuckle Chevron, or at the Rise & Grind coffee shop.

I duly apologize for the inconvenience, and will work to relocate the newsrack to a more prominent location to deter the theft of newspapers.

Regards, Lloyd Green Jr. Publisher/Owner Comments, or questions can be emailed to lloyd@ colusacountynews.net or call (530) 458-4141 Ext. 100.

An educated guess, otherwise known as a hypothesis, was the talk of the hour last Wednesday evening at the Williams High School gymnasium. Over 150 people waited outside for the opportunity to view all 180 entries at the 2019 Williams JR./ SR. High School Science Fair.

“This is the first time we have had a science fair since 2012,” said Williams JR./SR. High School Principal, Dr. Richter, “All the science classes from grades 7-12 participated.”

Williams teachers engaged students in the discovery, results, and the presentation of science. Students were asked to place their scientific research, experiment results and analysis on display boards. “Students have worked hard, learned many new skills and are excited to show off their work,” stated school officals from the Williams Science Department.

Color coded tables were filled with five different categories of projects: Anatomy & Physiology/Forensic Science, Biology, Chemistry/Ag Chemistry, seventh grade science, and eighth grade science.

Projects such as “Music and plant growth” by Jesus Cervantes and “What affect does air have on the spoilage of cooked organic hamburger?” by Noemy Salazar and Laura Can-

LIFE, AS I SEE IT :

Jury Duty.

KATHY CRAIGO-HARTEIS Local Columnist

I’ve been called for Jury Duty this coming week. It’s a wait and see kind of thing of course.

I have to wait until the evening before to see if I even have to report.

I’ve never sat on a jury before. I’ve covered trials when I was a newspaper reporter, but I’ve never been a juror.

I know it’s our civic duty to do so, but I’ve wondered if I would be well suited to decide another person’s future.

I don’t have a lot of confidence that I am well suited at all.

I’ve reported on a murder trial before.

The entire process was emotional and it went on for days.

In the end, the young guy who had upfront admitted his crime was sentenced to death. Being responsible to hand down that judgment is where I think I would fail as a juror.

I’m not saying right or wrong; I’m just admitting that I don’t think that I could do it. That’s my flaw and no one else’s flaw.

We’ll see what the week brings.

Finally, we’ve had a few days of sunshine. With a little hired help, we’ve started the outdoor/ garage cleanup. The next step is weed-eating and exterior painting. Lucky for us, we have a talented friend who is willing to help.

God sends to us the people we need in our lives.

Ironically for me, they all seem to be named Tom. I married a Tom, our friend who helps

with handyman stuff is Tom, and yesterday he brought along a buddy to help out. You guessed it.

His name was Tom. It seems fitting somehow since one of the most beloved people in my life was my dear late cousin Tom. I miss him a lot.

Tomorrow I go to my final exam for my cataract surgeries. I’m doing great as far as I can tell.

I’m thinking I might need some “cheaters” to read, but not much more.

The long-distance vision is wonderful. What a change.

I feel very blessed that I was able to have this done.

When I was little, my Great Grandfather Frederick was still alive.

I remember that he sat in a rocking chair, always wore a tweed jacket and we knew he had wrapped caramels in the pockets as rewards for us.

Grandpa was blind.

It was later in life that I learned he was blind because he had cataracts. I’m not sure why he didn’t have the surgery. It makes me sad to know that my granddad could have had a much different life well beyond sitting in his rocker.

Off we go to another week. I suspect this one is going to be a busy one.

Along with everything else, the campground opens for the season. Its time for us to start cleaning out what we want to keep and put the rest up for sale.

Life is good today. ■ — Contact Kathy Craigo-Harteis at kcraigo66@ hotmail.com or PO Box 406, Nice, Ca 95454.

WHAT’S YOUR PLAN? The Girls are paying their dues and becoming quite the musicians.

They do have band class each school day and are expected to practice at home. I would like to say that they are diligent at practicing; in reality, it’s as if we are were asking them to go get teeth pulled. The quantity fortunately adds up. That’s what makes the difference. Somehow, in all of it, enough practice does elapse that something quite magical comes to be. That’s where the fun is!

I am their self-proclaimed biggest fan and roadie. When others are kicking back and relaxing it’s the time that the road crew is in high gear. The Johnson Junior High Band traveled up to Chico in the middle of last month to participate in the Chico Music Festival. It was a day off from school for these kids and for their peers and teachers as well. It is labeled a Local Holiday on the Pierce District Calendar and so our band members gave up their free time to ride on a school bus to have their efforts judged and compared to other schools in the competition. I am awe-struck by their dedication.

There was another aspect that impressed me. Being a junior high event, it was open to those through 9th grade. Our junior high is 6-8 and the high school houses the freshmen. Our band was comprised of 7th, 8th, and 9th graders.

A little effort from the powers at be needed to be employed for this to be pulled off. They required necessary practice time to become one. The outcome of the competition would tell if it was fruitful.

At the end of playing their competition pieces, the band usually gets

some instruction from one of the judges. Each band member can decide if they will benefit from the critique. We have talked about mindset in the past; a person’s attitude or mental state. Simply put, we either exercise a fixed or growth mindset. There is no ability for growth in a fixed mindset. We need to plan on developing a growth mindset.

These mini workshops mostly stress fundamentals, yet this one had a vastly different theme. He picked on the trombone players to sing a few notes. Sing not play. He asked them to carry their notes to the other side of the room and verbally shared what this would add. He complimented them on their ability and then asked them to finish by including their instruments as an extension of themselves. He visually perfected the moment with his coaching and verbally painted what could be. He had thrown out the challenge to take it to the next level. Band members were not to spend their energy any longer on trying to produce a beautiful noise, they were to focus their attention on creating the moment; their instruments would follow.

This was something new for a lot of them that day.

We learned at the end of the day why the instruction was unique.

The JJH Band had performed to the best of their ability and the judges had substantiated it. They were awarded a Superior rating; there is no higher. Their play is top-quality and the next level is to add the magic. You should be adding the magic also. Thanks for following along. Please leave comments at Scott@ Arenscp.com. ■
